I ordered Ayamase from this place, and I say it with so much conviction that it’s the worst Ayamase I’ve had all my life. I don’t know if it was rushed but it was so irritating. If eating ayamase here was your first time ever eating it, you would never eat it again. Also ordered a side of shaki and it was like jeans, very hard. Can’t chew it. Ordering from here was just a bad food experience overall.

They were so nice to let us sample some dishes before ordering. We had goat with rice super tasty meat chewy but we kind of like it. The spinach dish was amazing. We had fish in stew also chewy but good. I enjoyed the fish a lot. My partner loved the bean casserole. We had never tried this place so we had no idea what things are the menu is kind on just a list and since we do not know the names and what comes in there it was hard. It was a bit spicy but not bad. Place is loud music but nothing that prevents us for having a conversation. I was worry about the comments and I was expecting to get sick of my stomach but that was not the case. We definitely going back to try fufu and goat stew I think is the dish we saw passing by us that someone else got.

The food is tasty, but I have to agree with the other reviews when I say the portions are entirely too small for the price. I bought the pepper soup and goat. The cup was halfway full (I estimate 3 ounces of soup), and I received a small piece of goat. Moving forward, I think it would be helpful to list soup cup sizes (S - 6oz, M - 8oz, L - 10oz) so future customers can be aware of what they are ordering.
Delicious meal, good people

Great music and the food was alright, i was directed to seat at a table that wasn’t clean and was visibly not wiped off before i sat. I also paid about $25 for the lukewarm plate.

I would love to give this place five stars because the food is phenomenal, but I don’t always have a chance to go there in person so I order Uber eats and these people do not even care to pay attention to order notes. For example I ordered Eba with red stew added notes to put spinach inside of the stew they listened yesterday but today I ordered the same thing except I got jollof rice with red stew and I told them to add Spinach . They did not bother to add any and I like vegetables with my meal so I had to go to the store and buy spinach to add in here which is very annoying then they charge five dollars for meat and they don’t even give you a big portion. It’s barely any meat on it. Complete rip off but the food is amazing. You just have to deal with them not caring about order notes and it’s better to go here in person, but even then they have an attitude sometimes. Customer service is horrible on the phone as well so if you are able to deal with that, then it’s worth it. The food makes up for it but it’s very annoying and I wish they would fix this and get new staff that actually carries about their customers.

I recently dined in at Iyanze. The food tasted great, but it wasn’t as warm as expected, especially since I dined in and ate it right away. I also noticed that the sauces they had out on the tables were past their expiration dates (most expired in 2023), which was worrisome. Despite the good food, I’m unsure of whether I’ll return for these reasons.

The asun jollof is one I usually go and buy since they started this dish but the last couple times i bought this dish, I could count the amount of asun in it, 6 pieces, it seems as the dish gained popularity, they reduced the asun in it, it's now just jollof with a few pieces of asun which wasn't the case before.
In addition, I've found strand of hair in the same food on multiple occasions. Right now, I was Chewing and realized something was feeling weird, only to realize it's a hair/wig strand.

I honestly think this place should be shut down at this point. Why do you guys keep serving spoiled food to people? Depending on the time of day you order, the food is for sure bound to be bad. It’s happened to me a few times and luckily I get a refund on the delivery app. My friend ordered again today and the meat pie she got was bad.

I am not an expert on Nigerian food but this place is a fun and exciting way to learn.
